At web site: http://www.people.virginia.edu/~jah6v/images/WDStewart.jpg There is a portrait of Sir William Drummond Stewart by Alfred Jacob Miller. First, I need a description of what he's wearing that is historically correct and second, although this is a formal portrait do you think he would have had it with him at the Rendezvous of 1837 or 1838? Second, could one of you describe for me what you think Captain Stewart might have worn on a day-to-day basis at those events. Much obliged.

He does not have on his formal military uniform at all. My guess is Stewart wanted to be as much like the mountain men as he could. The picture "Taking the Hump Rib" clearly shows fringed buckskin and leggings. In the picture "Presents to the Indians" he is dressed in a long, almost knee length, buckskin, fringed coat, with long pants also fringed. The book is outstanding if you like Miller, it may still be available at the Museum.

My wife, Sweet Cakes, is looking for it as she wants me to do that to a pair of wooden shoes she has that got damaged. We have all of the Muzzleloader mags fro the last few years so if I find the article I will pass the info on. I have a pair of wooden shoes that have the area that covers the arch of the foot made from leather rather than the hard wood. I documented these at the Holland Trading Company display in the main (forgot name) large museum in Amsterdam.

Oakes ------------------------------ Date: 7 May 1999 07:33:22 -0700 From: Subject: Re: MtMan-List: In the white vs. browning vs. blueing Sorry, Caywood and your father are correct; government contracts, tradegun contracts for the most part stated "white" or "blue" for a finish. Information on many of the gun builders built guns with metal "white" as a standard in the early years according to Kit Ravenshear, around the turn of the 19th century "browning" started to appear. Usually weapons before that may have looked "browned" or "modeled" in appearance, but were really just rusted, as starting life in the white. I'll sure others will have different opinions, but like Hawk will tell you, look for good documentation, don't listen to uneducated guesses.
